Following her parents' demotion, she married a soldier and became a relative of the chief of th

"Where is Jiang Yang?" Mei Dayong asked because he didn't see Jiang Yang.

At this time, Jiang Yang and Mei Xiangcao came out of the house. Mei Xiangcao called Mei Dayong: "Dayong, have lunch here."

"No, Auntie, I'm going home to eat. I just came to find Jiang Ye and Jiang Yang and ask them to come to my house tonight so we can chat as brothers."

Jiang Yang also agreed, "Okay, cousin."

Mei Dayong exchanged a few pleasantries with Mei Xiangcao and left. Jiang Ye's mind was still filled with the image of Xu Nuannuan and Fang Wenji standing together. If he hadn't promised the captain that he would go to the county town to fetch fertilizer, he would have really wanted to get drunk right now.

In the afternoon, Xu Nuannuan took Tuanzi and Guadaner to herd sheep again.

Xu Zhenqing, Fang Suyun, and Mo Wuwei were all clearing land at the foot of the mountain. Xu Nuannuan wanted to go over there to take a look and tell Mo Wuwei that the manuscript had been mailed, so they drove their sheep past there on purpose.

From a distance, she saw her father swinging a hoe on the wasteland, her mother cutting weeds beside him, and Mo Wuwei also digging the ground.

She passed by them and, while Guadan wasn't paying attention, waved to her parents and mouthed to Mo Wuwei that his manuscript had been mailed away.

Then, they continued to drive the sheep forward. With the addition of Xu Nuannuan and Tuanzi, Guadan was now braver, and they drove the sheep up the mountain unknowingly.

Tuanzi soon found the treasure behind a big rock and called Xu Nuannuan: "Nuannuan, there is ginseng here."

Xu Nuannuan told Guadan'er to keep an eye on the sheep. She immediately walked over and saw the ginseng plants exposed on the ground.

She looked around and thought that perhaps it was because this place was relatively hidden that no one discovered it. Otherwise, it might have been dug up long ago.

Ginseng roots are generally long, and digging ginseng is a rather troublesome task. She does have a shovel in her space, but digging is not only difficult, but also makes a lot of noise, which can attract Guadan'er's attention.

She recalled the miraculous scene of Tuanzi pulling weeds in the field: "Tuanzi, if you can pull weeds with your mind, you should be able to dig ginseng too."

She can only use her mind to do some things in the space, but it doesn't work outside.

Tuanzi nodded his head; "Nuannuan, now is the time for you to witness a miracle."

As soon as it finished speaking, there was only a hole left where the ginseng had grown, and next to the hole, there lay a ginseng covered in mud.

Xu Nuannuan picked up the ginseng and estimated the length of the entire ginseng including the ginseng roots. It was estimated to be several decades old. She put the ginseng in the space.

"Tuanzi, look around and see if there's any more somewhere else."

There's nothing I can do. She's just so greedy. Who wouldn't want such a good thing?

"Okay, Nuannuan, I'll go check somewhere else."

Xu Nuannuan first herded sheep with Guadaner, and asked Tuanzi to find ginseng. When Tuanzi called her, Tuanzi had already found the ginseng and dug it up. She just had to put it in the space.

In one afternoon, Tuanzi found three ginseng plants for her. She would have plenty of opportunities to find ginseng when she went out to herd sheep in the future.

In addition to digging three ginseng plants, Tuanzi also caught a wild rabbit, which was also collected by Xu Nuannuan into the space.

Xu Nuannuan touched Tuanzi’s head and said, “When I have time, I’ll stew meat for you.”

Tuanzi suddenly remembered the taste of the food Xu Nuannuan cooked when they were doing a mission together.

The dog stuck out its tongue to show that it was looking forward to it.

In the fields, the second batch of fertilizers was also pulled back. The fertilizers pulled back in the morning had been spread on the fields. Because fertilizers evaporate quickly and have obvious effects, irrigation must be done immediately after spreading. Otherwise, not only will the fertilizers be lost due to volatilization, but the roots of crops will also be burned due to excessive fertility. At this time, the fields that had been spread with fertilizers have begun to be irrigated with canal water.

The team leader called some people to spread fertilizer, and after spreading it on a piece of land, he began to irrigate it.

As for the farmyard manure that will be used in the future, because the nutrients in it evaporate slowly and take effect slowly, there is no need to irrigate immediately after spreading it, which is more convenient than chemical fertilizers.

Speaking of Fang Wenyu, his efficiency is really high. At noon, he promised Fang Wenji to find out if Xu Nuannuan had a partner, and he came to find Xu Nuannuan in the evening.

She was riding a bicycle with some food she bought for Xu Nuannuan hanging on the handlebars.

When Xu Nuannuan was returning to the educated youth site after herding sheep, she met her on the road.

"Sister Nuannuan, I just went to the educated youth camp and didn't see you. They said you were herding sheep at the foot of the mountain, so they were going to look for you."

Xu Nuannuan was surprised that Fang Wenyu came to see her at this time. It was getting dark, and it might not be safe for Fang Wenyu to go back.

She quickly called her over, and Fang Wenyu asked her to get in the car, and the two of them went back to the educated youth site together.

Fang Wenyu gave the things on the handlebars to Xu Nuannuan. Some of them were bought by her and some were bought by her brother.

Xu Nuannuan: "Wenyu, you are too polite. I am happy that you are here. Please don't bring anything next time."

"Sister Nuannuan, why are you being so polite to me? You don't want to be distant with me, otherwise I'll feel like you're treating me like an outsider, and I'll be sad."

Xu Nuannuan smiled and gave two pieces of the candy she brought to each of the female educated youth in the dormitory, except Yu Qingqing of course.

Fang Wenyu naturally wouldn't mind. Anything given to Xu Nuannuan would belong to Xu Nuannuan. Besides, everyone was watching, so it would be unreasonable to not let her eat something.

Xu Nuannuan then went to the vegetable garden and picked three bright red tomatoes. While she was washing the tomatoes in the yard, Fang Wenyu came up to her and said, "Nuannuan, there are too many people in the house. Let's talk outside."

"it is good."

Xu Nuannuan gave two washed tomatoes to Fang Wenyu and ate one herself.

“The tomatoes we educated youths grow ourselves are delicious.

"Thank you." Fang Wenyu took the tomato and started chatting with Xu Nuannuan. In fact, he was thinking about how to ask Xu Nuannuan if she had a partner without seeming abrupt.

They chatted for a while and she finally asked.

"Sister Nuannuan, I've always been curious. You're so outstanding, so there must be gay men chasing you. I wonder if you have a partner now."

Xu Nuannuan immediately thought of Jiang Ye and nodded, "Yes."

Anyway, she knew that Jiang Ye liked her, even though he hadn't confessed to her yet, which didn't stop her from saying so.

Fang Wenyu immediately cried out in her heart, "Oh no!" Xu Nuannuan already has a partner, so her brother has no hope.

But she was also very curious about what kind of person Xu Nuannuan's partner was: "Sister Nuannuan, can I ask who he is? He must be very outstanding."

"He." Jiang Ye is still just a farmer who works on the land, but he can also make furniture. "He's from this village. You saw him yesterday at the post office, the one driving the ox cart. He, he's just a farmer, but he can also make furniture."

"Which comrade is it?"

Fang Wenyu remembered that he had indeed seen the person Xu Nuannuan mentioned at the post office yesterday.

He's not bad in terms of appearance, but when I think about his abilities... I sigh in my heart, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Xu Nuannuan must have her own considerations for falling for that gay man. There must be other advantages in that gay man.

She mourned for her brother again for a few minutes. He finally had a lesbian he liked, but it was a pity that they acted too late.

She remembered another thing she had done here, "Nuannuan, my two friends really liked the sachet you gave me last time. They asked me if I still have it and they would buy it for me."

Xu Nuannuan thought that this was an opportunity for Mei Xiangcao to attract business.

"Okay, I'll take you to her house to see if there are any left."

"Row."

The two came to Jiang's house. Xu Nuannuan didn't see Jiang Ye. Mei Xiangcao and Jiang Ting were both at home. They had just returned from work and were cleaning in the yard.

"Nuannuan, you're here."

Mei Xiangcao greeted them while wiping her face.

Xu Nuannuan told Mei Xiangcao why they came. Mei Xiangcao took out two sachets and gave them to Fang Wenyu. She planned to sell each sachet for 20 cents, but for Xu Nuannuan's sake, she only charged 15 cents, so two sachets would cost 30 cents. If someone else wanted them, they would have to pay at least 50 cents for two sachets.

The flowers and spices in the sachets were all grown by her herself, and some were picked from the mountains. She made a profit by charging 1.5 cents for each.

When Xu Nuannuan and Fang Wenyu left, Jiang Ye had not returned yet.

It was getting dark, and Xu Nuannuan was worried about Fang Wenyu going back to the county town alone.

"Wenyu, it's too late. I'm afraid you'll be in danger on the way. Why don't you sleep at our educated youth camp for one night and leave tomorrow?"

"No, Sister Nuannuan, I can ride my bike very fast. Besides, I have to go to work early tomorrow morning, and I'm afraid I won't be able to walk in time tomorrow."

"But I'm really worried about you."

"Don't worry, Sister Nuannuan, nothing will happen."

Xu Nuannuan sent Fang Wenyu to the village entrance. Only when Fang Wenyu disappeared on the road on his bicycle did Xu Nuannuan turn around and walk towards the educated youth point.

After Fang Wenyu left Qingpingwan Brigade two miles away, she saw Fang Wenji waiting there. As soon as Fang Wenji saw her, he quickly asked, "How is it going, Comrade Xu, do you have a partner?"

Fang Wenyu shook his head, then nodded. "Brother, you're hopeless. Sister Nuannuan already has a boyfriend. He's the one we saw at the post office today, the one driving the ox cart carrying fertilizer."

"Him." Fang Wenji hadn't paid much attention to Jiang Ye at the time. Now that he thought about it, Jiang Ye's looks and height were both very good. Even though he was just a farmer, if Xu Nuannuan liked him, what could he say? "Comrade Xu and I are not destined to be together. I can only wish them the best."

Qingpingwan Brigade

After Jiang Ye returned home, he originally wanted to wash his upper body with cold water and then go find Mei Dayong for a drink, but when he was free, he couldn't help but think of the scene he saw at the door of the post office in the morning, and he poured a basin of water over his head, soaking his entire body.

Jiang Yang saw it and asked, "Brother, how do you take a shower?"

"I can wash it however I want." He took another basin and poured water from head to toe, but the random thoughts in his mind could not be cooled down.

He returned to the house. Jiang Yang wiped himself and went to change his clothes. He saw Jiang Ye lying on the kang covered with a bed sheet.

"Brother, hurry up and change your clothes. We still have to go find Brother Dayong."

"Row."

But when he stood up, he found that he didn't want to get up at all. He had no strength in his body. He didn't even have the interest to drink to relieve his sorrow.

"You go first. I'll take a rest and go later."

Jiang Yang pursed his lips and reached out to touch Jiang Ye's forehead: "It's not hot. Brother, what's wrong with you today? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

He noticed at noon that Jiang Ye didn't look well, and now he looked depressed and sick, and he was very worried about him.

"It's okay, I'm really okay." Jiang Ye forced a smile to avoid worrying Jiang Yang. "When have you ever seen me sick? You're just a little tired today. You'll be fine after a rest."

"Okay, I'll go first. Don't go too late."

"understood."

After a while, Mei Xiangcao finished cooking and came over to call Jiang Ye: "We will go to your brother Dayong's place later, so have some food at our house first."

Jiang Ye didn't want to eat anything, "Mom, I'm not hungry."

"Aren't you hungry? How can you not be hungry after doing so much work in a day?" Mei Xiangcao frowned tightly.

His eldest son usually does the most work and eats the most, so what happened today?

"What happened? Tell Mom, don't keep it to yourself."

"It's okay, Mom, don't ask."

Mei Xiangcao thought for a moment, "Didn't you say you wanted to confess your feelings to Nuannuan? When are you going to take action?"

"I, I haven't thought about it yet. Mom, I think if Xu Zhiqing meets someone better, I'd better not pursue her. I don't have confidence in myself." He also hoped that Xu Nuannuan could find someone better than him.

"So that's what's bothering you? No wonder. I said anything that could defeat my son. He's just met a rival in love. Hey, why did he have to meet a rival at this critical moment? Hey, tell me, how did you know you had a rival? What kind of man is that? "

Jiang Ye told his mother about what he saw Xu Nuannuan and Fang Wenji at the post office.

Jiang's mother shook her head: "Then why don't you ask Nuannuan what their relationship is?"

"Mom, if they were true, I would feel even worse after hearing it."

In fact, he also blamed himself for not having the courage to ask, but the truth was he really didn't dare to ask.

Afraid of getting a positive answer from the other party.

"Well, you're not sure, that person might not be your love rival. Silly son, you're really good at putting a psychological burden on yourself."

"Mom, I want some peace and quiet. Please let me take my time. Maybe tomorrow I'll have the courage to go to her and tell her what I'm thinking. No matter what her answer is, I can bear it."

"Okay, we'll know the answer tomorrow. I hope no one among you will interfere. That person must have been a misunderstanding. Are you still going to eat?"

"Don't eat."

"Are you still going to drink?"

"Let me calm down for a while before I tell you."

"Okay." Mei Xiangcao agreed, got up and walked out of the house.

Jiang Yang went to find Mei Dayong alone. Zhang Xiaogang had already come here with his things and arranged a room and a dining table for him alone. He was not with Mei Dayong's other family members.

And when Mei Dayong was not noticing, he smeared the medicine used for breeding boars on one of the cups. As long as Jiang Ye used that cup and the medicine took effect, he could only use a woman to solve the problem.

Her mother and her sister were visiting next door, and as soon as Jiang Ye's medicine took effect, he could notify her sister to come over and prepare Jiang Ye's antidote.

Now he was alone in the room, and heard Mei Dayong's voice outside, "Jiang Yang, why are you here alone? Where's your brother?"

"My eldest brother is not feeling well. He will rest at home for a while and come over later."

Zhang Xiaogang felt somewhat disappointed when he heard Jiang Yang's words.

But it doesn’t matter. As long as Jiang Ye comes here today, he will definitely let Jiang Ye and his sister sleep together.

The three wine glasses on the table in front of him were all filled with wine. He had originally planned for Jiang Ye and Mei Dayong to sit face to face on the edge of the kang, so he put drugs in that glass. Since Jiang Ye had not come yet, Jiang Yang would definitely sit there when he came, so he quickly swapped the positions of the two glasses.

After finishing, he guessed that Jiang Yang and Mei Dayong were about to come in, so he immediately slipped into the next room.

Mei Dayong's father, Mei Dongliang, Mei Xiangcao's cousin, his wife Li Xiaoxing, and their two daughters were eating in the yard.

When Jiang Yang saw them, he greeted them one by one, then he and Mei Dayong went into the room where the banquet was being held. Mei Dayong asked Jiang Yang to sit down, and Jiang Yang sat on the edge of the kang like him.

Mei Dayong said, "Since Jiang Ye won't be here for a while, let's drink less first."

"Cousin, even if you want me to drink more, I can't. I'll just drink a little. The one who can really drink is my brother. When he comes, you two can drink as much as him."

Mei Dayong smiled and said, "Jiang Ye's drinking capacity is far inferior to mine."

He picked up the cup and took a sip, then asked Jiang Yang to drink as well. Jiang Yang picked up the cup closest to him. He was not used to drinking and took a sip as well. It tasted spicy, so he quickly ate some fried peanuts.

As the two of them drank in small sips, half an hour passed by unknowingly.
